Let me shout here, Happy Birthday 21st Lydia (a little late tho). Had my bass lesson. Although i just did my finger exercise, but there's something in that a lesson that i will always remember. My teacher showed me how much the money spent over the year that i have been in Music Clef. Then he showed me how much i will earned back, by the skills im learning from him, from gigs. I will earned back the money in just half a year.
My teacher showed me that the music industry in Singapore is not as jia lat as alot might think. He shared with me his story. How much he is earning, when he was my age what he did to earn money from music, he told me how rewarding to do what you love and all that. I was really inspired by his story and becuase of his story, i want to be a musician as my full time job.
Many might think, being a musician, does it gives u a stable income. My parents dun think so but my teacher thinks so. He is earning a stable income. Yes, music is not that big in Singapore but it is growing. My teacher encourage me to be a musician, so that's why i wanna train hard and be a very good bassist. Ever since im under my teacher, im gradually improving and i was look forward to his lessons. Why!! First, im learning what i love which is the bass. Second, my future depend on it and lastly, it takes my mind off all things that are happening around the world. I just go to the room and just focus and absorbing what he is teaching me.
Some may disagree on my decision, some may think that i will not last, but one thing i know is that, im gonna practise hard and prove those who might think otherwise wrong. So may goal being a session bassist.
